Chris Childs from the NY knicks ( when he played) actually played some 1-2 NL poker with him... not a very good player though

I played 9 holes with Bob Hope in 1990 . Just he and I for 3 hours on the course I was the Asst Pro at. What an increidble man..

Hit range balls and chatted with Joe Biden last summer for about 20 minutes . Again just he and I on the range .. And maybe 4 guns pointed at me from the woods... Was up in Philly hangin with a buddy and playing golf at one of his courses. Biden was there with his brother in law. Nice guy.. Would be someone I'd like to play a few rounds with.

I met Mark Hoppus from blink-182, it was in the old days before they signed to a big label, they still had their original drummer and the only album they had out was Chelshire Cat on Cargo Records, they opened up for the Vandals at a pretty small show and came out and hung out with us while the Vandals were playing. Mark was a very cool down to earth guy. I told my friend that they were good and would make it big, and he got mark to sign a book of matches which he still has.

Shook hands with, so technically I met them: Bruce Springsteen, Ben Roethlisberger.

Didn't meet him but I was in LA county Jail, the same time as OJ Simpson and walked by his cell while he was in there

Floyd Mayweather. And believe it or not he was actually pretty cool in person, wasn't cocky at all.
